Tactical Communication

Introduction

Tac-Flex is a command & control system in a scalable solution designed to provide complete situation awareness. It effectively combine GPS data with information from other sensor and information systems, and therefore delivers a well-structured, complete, and customizable overview of the situation in real-time. A key feature is that Tac-Flex in design is very simple to use and thus requiring little training.

Tac-Flex comes with a build-in comms software package entailing an intelligent and secure solution that offers a network optimized for radio connections. The functionality is similar to that of a tactical router, which allows all entities in a network to share situation information, enabling fast decision processes based on up-to-date information.

The functionality also enables to build a network that offers flexibility to connect systems and equipment in one configuration for one operation and on-the-fly change to a completely different configuration for another operation.

Benefits

Improved Decision-Making ProcessTac-Flex is built around a Network Based Operations (NBO) philosophy, which links multiple platforms and enables them to exchange important operational data for complete situational awareness and thus generate a common operational picture (COP).

Enhanced Force ProtectionThe integrated blue force tracking distinguishes between friend and foe and reduces the possibility of friendly fire. In addition, the possibility to share observations of suspicious movements allows for an early warning of a potential threat.

Easy-to-Learn and OperateEasy to operate in even the harshest conditions, the system's intuitive interface gives access to a wide range of command and control functionalities only requiring a brief training course.

Reduced Error RateThe risk of human error is reduced by using digital messaging and positioning together with touch-screen displays that provide clear and highly accurate information.

Use multiple data communication systemsEmbracing a large variety of communication media, Tac-Flex supports UHF, VHF and HF tactical radios, SATCOM and Wi-Fi for data transmission of track information and messages. The build-in comms software package allows multiple networks using different protocols to communicate with each other and thus interconnecting incompatible systems into a mesh network.

Secure CommunicationData transmission security is a must to battlefield networks and a wide range of security options are embedded into the build-in comms software package that is easy and straightforward for the soldier to manage through distribution of keys and configuration of setup.
